State Level

Some of the states conduct their own entrance examination for the admission into the state-run and some of the private engineering colleges (in those states). Though some of the state entrance examinations are known beyond that state's borders, often admission into those institutes is restricted by the domicile clause.

The Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Entrance Test (EAMCET) was the common entrance examination for admissions to Engineering courses, MBBS/ BDS and other Medical allied courses in the erstwhile combined state of Andhra Pradesh.

Presently the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh conduct the EAMCET examination separately – namely TS-EAMCET and AP-EAMCET respectively. In general the two exam patterns, syllabuses, eligibility criteria, procedure of admissions all remain very similar to each other.

With the introduction of NEET as the common entrance to all MBBS and BDS admissions, the EAMCET (AP & TS) Medical examination caters to admissions in B.Sc (Agriculture), B.Sc (Horticulture), B.V.Sc & A.H., B.F.Sc., B Pharmacy and D.Pharm. Please read note on EAMCET Medical for additional details about EAMCET Medical.
